So nearing the end of last year reports of “throttling” arose throughout the internet community concerning Comcast. Ok, last time I checked we were paying for unlimited internet, regardless of what your using it for. That’s like selling eggs and saying you can only use it for breakfast meals.
Just because you can mess with people and control them doesn’t mean you will be good at it. That’s right, Comcast, you will only make it so far before everyone ditches you. So be aware what may be lurching around the web.
First, has anyone noticed the price of movies these days? $9.50 for horrible seating and crappy sound. Now don’t get me wrong, there are a few places in the area that aren’t filled with middle school aged, hormone driven, snot nosed students. Honestly though, I feel if I go and pay the money, that I should be guaranteed that I am not sitting in a seat where a STD was passed on. Then the fact that we are in the 21st century, where movie theaters have been around for nearly a century, meaning we shouldn’t have to endure “technical problems.” Oh, I’m sorry, didn’t realize pushing play was so hard.
Now to the real problem. When did it become ok to make movies that are obviously going to be on DVD in a month and are going to be used as a cheap coffee table coaster? I only say this because it seems like recently there has been an introduction of these types of, shall I mutter the word, “films.”
First, on the list is Cloverfield. Excuse me, a trailer preview is supposed to indicate what the movie is about. Obviously they are banking on the fact that a magnitude of people are going to blindly flood into, what I can only say is, Godzilla 2. “Oh no! Something is wrecking havoc in New York. What’s going on? We have to get out of here before the beast we haven’t even seen attacks us!” C’mon! Really? Ok! Good luck with box office sales.
Second, is this movie where your phone goes straight to voicemail and you hear your death. Yes, that’s right ‘One Missed Call.’ How can you miss a call if it goes straight to voicemail? Oh wait you can’t! So you’re telling me that this mysterious killer has tricked the cell phone towers and companies in getting voicemail to leave a recording of something that hasn’t even happened? Cool story line, sounds familiar though. Final Destination meets the Ring? The clips don’t do it justice either, I’ve seen better acting from a 3 year old. “You get a call, you hear your death, then you die.” Oh no! Watch out, some creepy stalker guy got your number and wants your skin. Thanks for horror movie, but no thanks you can keep it. Actually, please take every copy and the script, and actually the script writer and the producer, to an Army Nuclear Testing site and place it right on the targeted drop zone.
Now I am not saying these do not have potential, actually that is exactly what I am saying, but if you even think about going to see one of these movies, please save the money because they’ll be on DVD in no time. With the money you save you can buy snacks with it and enjoy at least part of the evening.
